Creating New Environments for Care:
Opportunities and Barriers for Executive Nurse Leaders
Crossing the Quality Chasm in Health Care: A Call to Action
Nurse executives will play a critical role to help lead a broad coalition of stakeholders in effecting change. The creation of a system that has the patient at its core will be paramount.
The Current Environment: Its Impact on the Workforce and the Quality of Care
Compelling evidence supports what so many nurse leaders know from experience — that the turmoil in hospitals, the disruption of systems that support practice, staffing shortages, and unfavorable organizational climates exacerbate the critical issues of workforce supply, and directly affect patient outcomes. The current system does not support the kinds of interactions between patients and providers required to make health systems truly patient-centered.
